College of Osteopathic Medicine

LECOM has grown to become the nation’s largest medical college with campuses in Erie, Greensburg and Bradenton.

LECOM offers a quality medical education at an affordable price with one of the lowest, private medical college tuitions.

LECOM is a leader in innovative, student-centered medical education with five learning pathways leading to a Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine Degree – Lecture Discussion, Problem-Based Learning, Directed Study and two three-year pathways: the Primary Care Scholars and the Accelerated Physician Assistant Pathway.

The majority of LECOM graduates become Primary Care Physicians (family physicians, internal medicine, pediatrics or OB-GYN). US News & World Report ranks LECOM in the top five medical colleges for graduating primary care physicians.

LECOM receives the most medical school applications in the country.

School of Pharmacy

LECOM Erie offers a year-round, three-year curriculum and a four-year, distance education pathway. The Bradenton campus has a four-year program. Students may enroll to earn concurrent degrees from our masters programs.

LECOM School of Pharmacy Alumni are working in a variety of positions at retail and community pharmacies, hospitals, clinics and physician offices.

School of Dental Medicine

The School of dental medicine offers a patient-centered curriculum to train dentists to improve the health of their patients through preventive care.

Curriculum is modeled on Problem-Based Learning through small-group, case-based study for basic sciences.

Students receive early simulation and basic patient care clinical learning experiences and progress to community-based, primary care clinic experience in urban areas with the greatest need for dental care.

School of Health Services Administration

The Masters in Health Services Administration (MHSA) provides students with the knowledge and skills required to plan, direct, and coordinate medical and health services. Ranked #6 Best Online Masters in Health Administration by BestColleges.com.

The Master of Science in Biomedical Ethics (MSBE) helps healthcare workers develop cultural competency in today’s diverse healthcare environment and demonstrates how ethics education leads to behavioral changes that result in a higher level of professionalism and the delivery of top-quality, patient-centered care.

MHSA and MSBE students are trained, via distance education, to become administrators at healthcare facilities, public health care organizations, and private practice groups.

Additional graduate degrees and programs:

The Master of Science in Medical Education, PhD in Anatomy Education and PhD in Medical Microbiology prepare educators, physicians, pharmacists and dentists to become better instructors in teaching at hospitals, clinics and colleges.
